Being an author, reader, exhibitor at MIBF 2016
Indie/hybrid romance in English by Filipino authors (we need to come up with a shorter name for this) did its thing at the Manila International Book Fair 2016.
I am grateful for a lot of things.

Thanks to the Filipino Readercon, #romanceclass was able to fulfill one of those on-the-spot dreams: An event at the Manila International Book Fair. When you’re into books, MIBF time is always a big deal. It’s not, “Do I go?” but […]

After the great experience with the lecture with the musicians, I decided not to do another lecture until we had just as good a panel. We found out then that we had people coming in from far outside Manila and it had to be worth it. I know how much time is worth and I wasn’t going to ask it of people if it would just be a so-so thing.
But then… Atom Araullo said yes. Haha.

This scene from Finding X by Miles Tan was in the original #romanceclass live reading — and we couldn’t resist doing it again. So at the Filipino Readercon, we had Gio and Rachel perform it, and we recorded it live, and now it’s episode 8 of the podcast.

The podcast will sound a little different this week, and that’s because this episode was recorded live. Gio and Rachel performed excerpts from romance novels at the Filipino Readercon, and this was one of their scenes. The Boyfriend Backtrack by Dawn Lanuza was a hit among us present at the rehearsal, and I knew it would present a fun challenge for the actors. They of course nailed it, in rehearsal, and live.
